Rankings

Here's my contribution to the endless debates on what is the best aircraft or tank in the world. The aircraft rankings are entirely subjective, based on personal appreciation of their capabilities. However, the tank rankings have a more rigorous methodology in which each vehicle is ranked on the basis of three paramenters: firepower, protection and mobility. Users can change the weights of these parameters themselves.

Designation systems

What's in a name? The story behind how military weapons get their designations and their names is a peculiarly interesting (and incredibly geeky) aspect of warfare. I have attempted to create comprehensive guides explaining the designation systems of the main powers for aircraft and ships.
